Secret Court Says F.B.I. Aides Misled Judges in 75 Cases

the NY Times reports:

...the standards of evidence required for electronic surveillance [and physical searches] are much lower in many intelligence investigations than in criminal investigations....

In essence, the court said that the F.B.I. and the Justice Department were violating the law by allowing information gathered from intelligence eavesdrops [and searches] to be used freely in bringing criminal charges...and that criminal investigators were improperly directing the use of counterintelligence wiretaps [and searches].

In words few, this part of The Terrorist State puts survival of The Terrorist State itself way ahead of the ambitions of the Clinton variety of criminal investigators.

And this part of The Terrorist State ALSO puts survival of The Terrorist State itself way ahead of the Bu$h variety of counterintelligence investigators.

How can we tell?

Fortunately, the Washington Post posted the text of the court's Memorandum Opinion in PDF format on the front page of its August 23d website.

So let's hear from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court:

...in many U.S. person electronic surveillances the FBI will be authorized to conduct, simultaneously, telephone, microphone, cell phone, e-mail and computer surveillance of the U.S. person's home, workplace and vehicles.

Similar breadth is accorded...in physical searches of the target's residence, office, vehicles, computer, safe deposit box and U.S. mails....

The breadth of acquisition is premised on the fact that clandestine intelligence activities and ACTIVITIES IN PREPARATION FOR INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM are undertaken with CONSIDERABLE DIRECTION AND SUPPORT FROM SOPHISTICATED INTELLIGENCE SERVICES OF NATION STATES....

Economic Impact Of WTC Attack Climbs

Associated Press reports:

[The New York City Comptroller] wrote...[a] 58-page report that provides the fullest picture to date on the economic shock felt in the city.

From the point of view of property:

The report...found a particularly harsh loss in lower Manhattan in terms of its stock of commercial buildings, which represents the nation's third largest block of commercial office space after midtown Manhattan and Chicago's business district.

Specifically:

Some 13 million square feet of prime office space downtown was destroyed - a total equal to the entire office space inventory of Atlanta or Miami.

An additional 30 million square feet of office space was damaged.

Beyond that, the report includes the disclaimer:

"While this devastating event can never be reduced to numbers....

The disclaimer = a low-key confession that the official body count is way too low.

So?

Historically, 911 ranks among both

the greatest military victories;

and the greatest military defeats.
